1. You can claim exemption under Section 54 by investing the capital gain in a residential house property. If the amount is not invested by the due date of filing the return, the amount should be deposited in a Capital Gain Account.
2. You can also avail exemption under Section 54EC by investing in specified bonds. The time limit is 6 months from the date of transfer.
